I'd like to think of this batch of Maui as an accidental melange roast instead of what it actually is - an uneven scorching of half my beans in my GeneCafe.

Your guess is as good as mine. I've never had this bad of a roast in my Gene ever. The only thing I can think of is that since the beans were as massive as most Brazilians I overloaded the drum, hence a super uneven roast. It was weird as it was roasting too. Typically, I can tell by smoke production when I've left FC and moved into 2nd but this time there was a ton of smoke right around the time FC should have been happening. I couldn't see any burning beans until I dumped. Oh well, I'm gonna brew a cup with a melitta tomorrow morning. |

Crazy. Yes, perhaps overloading and insufficient agitation could be the reason. Don't forget to share your tasting results. JD Respect the bean.

After brewing a cup this morning I find it super interesting when a varietal is a fruit bomb aromatically but lacks a lot of pronounced fruit flavor. Anyway, I think some of the FC+/Vienna beans overpowered the more subtle flavors. Not a bad bean or roast, but probably lacking in a lot of complexity. Can't beat free even if its not the most complex bean on the planet. (my parents bought a bunch of random greens at a coffee farm in Maui - these came in an unmarked gallon size plastic bag) |
